April 3 IJPt Duck hunters received notice today the government will move slowly on any proposal to regulate shooting by flyways rather than by'zones. Fall hunting fieasons now are es tablished according to well-defined zones throughout the United States. Many sportsmen contend that uni form regulations along flyways the regular southbound migratory routes would be more fair. There are four flyways: Atlantic, Mississippi, Rocky Mountain and Pacific. But Secretary of the Interior Krug last night told Ducks Unlimited, famous sportsmen's organization, the flyway plan is "such a new concept we must go a little slow in applying if We need to make more studies," he said. Trustees of Ducks Unlimited were to conclude their annual meeting to day with election of officers. The club appropriated $325,000 $25,000 more than last year's record appropriation for improvement of wild duck breeding grounds this summer in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. A major portion of ducks shot in the United States each fall are reared in Western Canada. Because the fish and wildlife service lacks funds for work in Canada, Ducks Unlimited has undertaken a long xange program for game manage ment and protection on 3,000.000 acres of Western Canada's prairie provinces.
